I am a thought leader and scholar whose journey bridges academia, diplomacy, and statecraft. With over eighteen years in foreign affairs, I articulated Nepal’s voice on global platforms as Spokesperson at the Institute of Foreign Affairs and shaped future minds as a Senior Lecturer in international relations and diplomacy. My academic pursuit—from an M.Phil. at Pokhara University to a Ph.D. at Tribhuvan University—deepened my understanding of global change and conflict resolution. Beyond diplomacy, I engage through media as a presenter, editor, and columnist, translating complexity into clarity. Rooted in the Dhamma, I embraced the Theravāda path and the art of Vipassanā at Dharmakirti Vihara, where compassion and awareness refined my vision. Guided by the Dhammapada’s timeless light, I now strive to infuse mettā—loving-kindness—into statecraft, shaping governance through wisdom, empathy, and awakened purpose.
